FILES DISPLAYING CATEGORIES &
LINKS
Naming Convention:
All category/link display pages must contain the word 'default' in
them otherwise aleza will assume the category is a link and add the
redirect icon.
Preliminary Code:
Pages that display links should
include this JavaScript snippet in order to open a small pop up window
when users cast votes, send links to friends or report errors.
